As promised, Male Dress Up Dolls are now having work done to them. Over the next few weeks male characters will have as much stuff for them as the females do. In the meantime, while we have to redraw all of the old male clothing and fix lots of the male hair styles, eyes and stuff, we have disabled all of your male characters around the site. This should only be for a couple of days, but in the mean time all male characters will be bottomless hobos with the same hair style! Never a dull moment in this virtual world...

Trades are now back online. We took them down for a few hours to fix a bug that occured while I was on vacation. Thanks to the trades logs we were able to go through 160,000+ trade activities in the past 6 days and catch those who were able to abuse this glitch. Cheaters will never win.

The Lottery has been drawn for this week. honkytonkangel is the winner of the 713,500MP Jackpot with the winning numbers of 3, 7, 15, 22, 13 and 24! Congratulations!

Last Week's Raffle has now ended. marinebiologist909 is the winner of the Red DNA and 100,000MP prize with the winning raffle ticket number 54379! Congratulations! Make sure you buy your tickets for today's raffle - only 10MP per ticket!

Google Checkout UpdateThis is just a quick update for those waiting for their Google Checkout payments to go through. We are currently having problems with our secure server that processes this information. It seems to be a hardware fault because it keeps cutting out randomly for 5-15 minutes and then working again. It is currently being fixed, but it means those who buy them while it is acting up weren't given it automatically. We're working through them all and you should all have your credit by this time tomorrow as we have a lot of you to go through. Please also email us just incase we do miss you out, so we have more chances of getting everyone up to date by this time tomorrow. Sorry for the delay so far and if takes us more than 48 hours after your payment to fix it, we'll give you extra credit!

The September Account Upgrades have just been released.. and for the first time ever its actually early! Remember that anyone in any country that has a credit or debit card can buy them with Google Checkout and anyone living in the UK or US can use their cell/mobile phone to buy them too! We also accept cash/cheques/money orders that you can send to the UK or to Canada, whichever is easiest/cheapest for you! If you need any help with anything related to Account Upgrades at any time, just email us at marapets@gmail.com and we'll be happy to help.

The School Costume is part of this upgrade set.

You will also get 7 random pieces of the Vending Machine Instructions. To find out what they do, read the news posted before this!

We have just added a Vending Machine, filled with new clothing that does not restock, to the Slater Park map. Before you can use the Vending Machine, you need to collect all 16 pieces of the Vending Machine Instructions and put them together here. After that, you'll be able to use the Vending Machine once every 22 hours to get a random piece of rare clothing and MP for free!

The Vending Machine Instructions will be part of the September Account Upgrades, released within the next few hours!! This is your last chance to get the January Account Upgrades!

And here are 35 new female tops and bottoms that can ONLY be found using the Vending Machine! They will not restock or be found anywhere else! Also, just to remind you that next week is dedicated to male characters, where they'll get as many new items as the females did!!

The Clam missions have been changed. The lower levels now ask for Sushi and the other levels continue to ask for Pearls! We've also adjusted the MP prizes for all of the levels of the Clam. For example, instead of 100,000MP for completing the Clam, you now get 250,000MP!

We've been so busy this month that we ran out of time for the August Account Upgrades, so instead we've released Giftboxes. We've been talking about releasing these for months but now they are out. They are items you can buy to sell or use. Each one you use will give you a "service" on the site. Below are all of the Giftboxes you can currently buy and what they do! Remember you can buy them by credit card or debit card no matter what country you live in and by mobile/cell phone if you live in the US or UK!

The Whirlpool Giftbox will allow you to use the Whirlpool twice as often once you use it. You can only use the item once, but it'll allow you to permanently use the whirlpool every 12 hours instead of 24! It will only be useful for those who actually have access to the Whirlpool.

The Extra Pet Giftbox will allow you to you hold an extra pet on your account. The maximum for every account is 12 pets, but 15 pets if you use 3 of these items! For example, use one of them and you can have a maximum of 13 pets.

The Operations Portal Giftbox will allow you to use the Operations Portal in Enpiah twice a day for free instead of only once a day! Once used you will be able to use the portal twice as often as every one else forever!

The Fishing Giftbox will allow you to go Fishing twice as often once you use it. You can only use the item once, but it'll allow you to permanently go fishing every 90 minutes instead of 3 hours! It will only be useful for those who actually have access to fishing.

The Fasoro Falls Giftbox will allow you to use Fasoro Falls twice as often for life! Use the item once and you can use Fasoro Falls once every 2 hours instead of 4 hours forever!

We've been working hard on the new Maramail and Alerts systems the past few days. They're still being worked on but while they were being worked on, we had some problems with both SMS and Google Checkout upgrade payments not processing. If you are still waiting for credit, please email us and we'll get it fixed for you right away. Its been fixed now though and both work.
